A slight obsession...

I was cleaning out one of my bags today and these were all in there......needless to say I think I have an obsession with all things lipstick, lipgloss and lip balm..

These are some of my favourites. They are all pink, soft and the glosses are very sheer.


I have been a fan of the Stila lip glaze for a long time. I have them in several colours but these are the two I use the most - Strawberry and Apricot. You can find them here.


My latest lip balm crush is Christian Dior's Creme de Rose. Mentioned previously here. I love the creaminess of it and the beautiful rose smell.


The little Chanel is the divine Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle. It is a lovely pink and the lipstick has a nice light texture. Find it here.


The M.A.C is Lustre lipstick in Syrup. I was given this by a close girlfriend when I was Bridesmaid for her 4 years ago and I have been wearing it ever since. It is the perfect dusty pink that you can wear with everything. You can find it here.


As mentioned previously here I am a recent fan of the YSL Rouge Volupte Sheer Candy lipstick in succulent pomegranate #4. I love how sheer the colour is and the choice is yours to wear it sheer or build up the layers for a stronger effect. You can get the range here and here. 


The Bobbi Brown Lip Glosses are great. They are nice and thick but still sheer and not too sticky. They also don't dry my lips out too much which is a huge plus as I have a big problem with many glosses and lipsticks for that reason. The ones I have and are pictured above are Popsicle and Marina Pink.


Do any of you have a borderline obsession with all things Lipstick, balm and gloss like I do? If not do you have any other make-up obsessions? I'd love to hear about them.

Much needed makeup bag additions

There is nothing like a few new items in your makeup bag to make you feel like a new woman. Recently I discovered some new items I can't believe I have been without for so long. For years I have been an avid fan of M.A.C cosmetics and I still am. Every day I use their bronzer, eyeliner and mascara. 


My latest finds are from YSL and Bobbi Brown;
   



YSL Touche Eclat

I have been reading for many years about Touche Eclat and I can't believe it has taken me so long to try it but now I have there is no going back. I love it and the results I get  from it. It is a Mother's best friend.




YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Mascara               


Also from YSL I have discovered their Volume Effect Faux Cils mascara in high density black. It really does give a falsh lash effect. So lush.


YSL Volupte Sheer Candy  
and their Volupte Sheer Candy lipgloss in No. 4 - Succulent Pomegranante. The gloss looks like a neon pink but it goes on so sheer and gives such a sheer layer of colour or you can layer it for a more intense colour if you prefer.
Bobbi Brown Ultra Nude Eye Pallet

From Bobbi Brown I have discovered (from their Neon and Nudes collection) their Ultra Nude Eye Pallet.
